- Upgrading or repairing your PC is always best done yourself, but if you are unsure of what to do then taking your computer to a local PC shop may be a better idea. Or you could find a random self-proclaimed professional online and ask them to take a look?

He replaced your 480 with a GT 545?? Those are the same cards that are used in some of the ebay scam "GTX 1050 Ti"s. And it was 150 pounds for the entire repair??? This hurts omg
ikr oof
I'm honestly surprised it wasn't spoofed to a different gpu
Yeah the cheek of it, he could have at least used a card with similar performance and he'd still have made a tidy profit
You better name that computer fortnite.
Ah I love your channel sir. I knew it u would be watching his videos
9:02 I love how your processor is just basically sleeping and the GT 545 is trying to push a car up hill xD
The processor is like the smart kid watching the stupid one struggle to write his name
it looks like the graphics card is having a heart attack.
I’m pretty sure Jeff just found a random gt 545 in his house and decided to throw it in because the number was higher.
or a china special from ali baba
@MasterRamen219 no a gtx 8800 is slower than any modern card right now

It mildly infuriates me that you let him get away with it.
Same pisses me off, I'd be confronting him about his scam wether he looks scary or not and most definitely would be exposing him on here not protecting him so others can get scammed
You can't be mildly infuriated.

Should actually confronted the repair guy to be honest. Het flat out ripped you off and stole something.

This is the crap that makes it hard for people like me to make an honest living on CL and FB as a PC repair/builder. I love to tinker and help people, but dishonest people disgust me!
Same for repairing consoles or any device really, some shady cunts about.
I feel exactly the same. Nobody trust anybody anymore because of people like him. He`s a disgrace.
This is disgusting! I would have said, "Hey, I don't need to replace this; it isn't broken -- but if you WANT a replacement Card I'll replace it with a GTX 1060 3GB or 6GB." I also would have blown the PC out with my MetroVac Duster as a courtesy before repairing anything and had a look at all the caps to make sure none were bulged out.
Yeah I have been in I.T. for almost 20 years and currently do Cisco VoIP for a rather large company and this industry is FULL of grifters and scam artists. Also lots of sales people who will promise you the world and then can't deliver after winning the bid
@ENZO Thanks, but business has been slow, i would assume since people don't trust people out of there home, it's a shame, that's usually where the best work happens. :(
I'm surprised not to find mentions about him telling the guy that he didn't get a picture anymore, but was somehow still able to look the GPU model on device manager.
Lol
Would have been interesting to contact him again and say the performance is considerably lower to see what he'd do about it.
Expose Jeff, others are becoming a victim.
opens himself up to getting sued. I wouldn't want to deal with that mess either. Look at all the other UA-camrs who have gotten sued for talking about someone and how long it dragged out, how much it cost and all that shit.
@@AustinMichael Here it would be his business page and for the interests of the consumers so yeah, im pretty sure he wouldnt get very far in court if he even got there.
@@AustinMichael I dont know where do you live, but in my country if you sue someone and you lose, you have to pay all the expenses. Jeff would have 0 chance to win anything from this guy, because this video is no cyber bullying or anything, its just a review of poor and overpriced service provided by Jeff. Reviews are not suable and Jeff would just make it all worse for him.
+ The problem of exposing someone on YT isnt the court of law, but the YT itself, because the other guy can strike your channel and get your income, due to wrong YT policies. For example thats why a lot of tech channels got in trouble for exposing The Verge and their PC building guide. BUT if you fight back there is nothing they can do to you, they will have to apologize, pay the expenses and live with the shame.
this please. @randomgaminghd, do your part and stop this. Confront him. He probably took your old working card as well
@@TheHed94 can you please tell me which tech channels and what did they expose? I really want to know, I used to love the verge until topolsky left then it went to shit.
Send Jeff a link to the video.
Yes please that would be so funny
I second this.
Give me his e-mail or FB and i will
Exactly!
That would be petty af. But at least if someone is pointing his cons and telling it directly to him, maybe he can change and do better
The second I saw the cooler, I knew you'd been screwed though I was expecting a lower 4th gen card than your 480.
Always ask for all your old parts back when you get anything fixed for just this reason, even ask for titanium implants back if you them taken out during surgery.
Should have called him out on it, I know I would have. i know this was for a vid. but would have been interesting to see what that guy said. or how he would have tried to weasel out of it.

A good replacement would probably be a gtx750ti vauled at 25-30 pounds
Those go for £80 today
why you didn't tell him that's its working worse than before ?
Indeed. Should've complained about the stuttering after the 'repair' and reported how he dealt with it.
Like he said, Jeff was a scary guy so he will write the lost money off as a business expense. aka, he is a big pussy
real beta move tbh
@@danimayb Sure, but an average punter would notice massive stutter which wasn't there previously. It would have been interesting to see how the guy responded to that complaint (i.e. whether he 'came clean' and actually put in a card with similar performance to the 480 or tried to lie about it some more). It might also have caused him to think more carefully about ripping other people off in the future, since presumably this isn't the first time he's ripped someone off.
Yeaa whyyy
Even if he’s replacing with a new card he cannot pocket the old card, i always ask my old parts back and you should too
Ya or at least give a credit like how auto parts stores will give core credits if you bring in the old part that can be remanufactured or recycled.
or just report him to the police for plain and simple fraud and scam, said replaced by gtx card, got a gt card, and buyers have the right to claim back ANY transaction within 7 days, thats for eu-uk usa zones, china however lacks that by law... but that guy is uk based sooo....
@@arencorparencorp2189 he is scared of him he says it in the video. if someone did this to me i would have asked what card will you put in for 100 first. if he didn't tell me the exact model no deal.
@@Joker-no1fz thats why report him to the police, he migh be whatever scary but a policeman with a gun will rather win
@@arencorparencorp2189 The police would not respond to this. No crime they can prevent, no evidence to make an arrest and no option to make it all better.

I actually work for a computer repair shop in the UK, I couldnt imagine doing this myself, but it happens a lot.
Another company in our area sold a woman a "gaming pc" with a second gen i7 and one of those fake 1050ti graphics cards from China. He refused returns for its poor performance, she bought it to us and we of course gave her the bad news. Since then a claim through court was started, and although we haven't heard from here since, we can't seem to be able to find that companies services advertised anymore
Call this guy out. I would have gone back round there and thrown the thing through his window. He literally robbed you.
Should have given his name out, so people can avoid him.
It's risky from the other side. You are one of those who think how to avoid them, then there are those who will start to do internet bullying and it can come down to some serious issues if a wrong person watches this and reads who he is...not to avoid, but to start writing and scolding what a "fucker" he is etc., and sometimes it can be too much for not enough good reasons...because this is Internet.
The point of this video is not to avoid specific person, but to avoid low rated "technicians", since...well...he's low rated for obvious reasons. When you think about it, I see no reason to have his specific name in order to avoid, just avoid the low ratings in the beginning, because it seems you are constantly trying to go to a low rated technician? or you are one of those previously mentioned people who will start the cyber bullying with constant messaging and death threats?

@ He probably gutted the internals.
and stole his graphics card too?
@@theunknownbeing7 hahahahahah :D
Take him to small claims court as Jeff clearly lied and didn't meat the claims that he made to his customer. Which can also be classified as false advertisement.
@Nobby Heads Do I even need to explain how bad of an idea that is? First off if we burn his house he'll than be added to our homeless problem and thus add more cost for our government/tax payers as a whole. Also there is the fact that burning his house would be extremely illegal and get everyone looking for who did it. Which would force you to go undercover for awhile unless you like jail time. Oh and there's the added fact that if you did that than he would gain ground in court to sue you.
@Nobby Heads Huh didn't get notified about your reply, so I must apologies for the delay reply. For those that want to short version skip to the last paragraph. Anyways it doesn't matter if he is Mexican or nor. All that matters is he or she or it yeah don't ask is a living sentient being. Now I would say if you are a person of faith and that you are suggesting murder you might want to reconsider your faith. But no the real reason for not wanting to burn them along with their house to the ground other than again running from law enforcement is. Well now you just made a fire hazard that could destroy property or even have the chance to kill innocent bystanders that weren't even involved in the matter at hand. Also we now just created extra work for the local fire department and now they have to spend time dealing with a man made problem rather than addressing real fire case else where.
To further go on you believe that making an example of one person will stop others from doing the same. Ha don't make me laugh. Making examples of people has never stopped people as a whole from doing anything. If that were the case than why do we still have crime going on?
Sides long story short taking up arms and going out to do physical harm is actually more work and comes with to many risk. No it's better to just settle things in court. Even if a big company can just quell your case quite easily. They still can't handle tens of thousands of court cases brought to them. As all of the fees and the legal work that would be needed to fend off that many cases would dig any companies or scammers economic grave. You just need to motivate people.
P.S. I will also admit how restrictive the laws are at the moment are a bit restrictive but everything in levistration can be changed given time.
@Nobby Heads Question how can you be of faith and promoting killing anyone that isn't of your own view. Doesn't that break like rule #1 of any religion? Whatever we're getting off topic.
@@theDemolisher13 He's trolling you, my dude. He's full of shit. You should probably just disengage.
Yeah, take him to court for an amount of money thats less than the cost of a lawyer...
I've just now watched this video in January 2021. I work for a local PC repair shop here in the US, and I also do a bit of work on the side for friends and family as well. There's no problem with charging for the work you're performing, and making some money while you're at it - so long as you're providing the service you promised!
He run's it out of his house...
That alone tells me how hard you are about to be scammed.

@@vdochev Sadly I had a business partner like that who started a legit shop, told him to power the PC on and that he should check to make sure it works, he was so sure of himself that it worked and was trying to save time, guess which customer came back when it didn't?

I really don’t know how some people live with themselves to be honest.
All of the people in the government and big companies are like that. And to dumb plebs they feed sugar coated bullshit about morality, justice. 9 out of 10 "Developed" countries are developed majorly on scamming and robbing weaker countries. The remaining 1 out of 10 get labeled as "systems that always fail/poor economy" for not robbing other countries.
So I guess scamming and robbery is universal way to success in short term.

A person that I worked with scammed me. I reached out on Facebook about needing a gaming pc built for my son and he told me he would build it. We had worked together for several years and I had no reason to mistrust him. My son had the tower, power supply and MSI gaming mother board he had brought brand new and hard drive. He said $1300.00 USD he would have the top of the line pc. Close to 9 months later and SEVERAL excuses he finally produced his PC. mother board was not the same, ddr3 ram set (was promised DDR4) 10 year old graphics card and an I5 processor (was promised I7). All obsolete junk he had laying around he shoved in there. My poor son was so devastated so I spent another $1350.00 last week and UA-camd my way through the build and Windows install and hes got the sweet machine hes waited over a year for. Oddly enough they guy has yet to return my call to explain himself!!!
"Considering the serial number and model name were missing from the shroud"

"Properly recycled" he probably sold it already

Lead tech at a small independent PC repair store here.
Standard procedure for this scenario if you'd brought your machine to me, I would have hooked it up and verified what it did or didn't display with the existing card before you even left, and then would have offered to run a stress test on the system as-is to try and replicate any problems you've had. Then I would have offered upgrade options if you were interested. IF you opted for a replacement card anyway, I *always* offer the old parts back to every customer at time of pickup.
This is true journalism -- helping protect the public.
From now on any pc repair scam should be known as getting Geoffed.
Right you are
The guy: MY NAME'S JEFF
I do minor pc services for ultra cheap and I got like, reverse scammed. I did a psu swap and I told the guy I wouldn’t take a buck over 20$, because he wanted to pay me more- he forced me to take 60 bucks. what a guy
Everyone should be able to work on his (hers) PC. Repair, upgrade, software issue, anything. It's not rocket science. If you don't know, there are so many tutorials, forums, etc. where you can ask. Worse is when you come to cars, because certain things you simply can't do by yourself. And here comes the luck. Even in case of expensive shops.
now I'm getting sad bc I usually repair some computers without even charging labor while *jeff* is charging 150 bucks for a downgrande.. that takes like 2 minutes maxinum.. and to install the PSU upside down..
Closer to 200 actually Brexit hasn't quite tanked the UK economy that far yet.
I normally just charge for half an hour, but that's to also stop people from asking me for stuff all the time.
how would you make any money if you dont charge people labor for repairs? the guy charged way to much , when all he had to do was buy a card , wipe the old drivers and install new drivers and benchmark it. and flip the psu. but you have to charge something. its probably 30 minutes work with no issues. at the typical 50 dollars usd an hour repair shop charge, it should have been 25 for labor then cost of the card with inflation. so if it was 20 dollars to purchase the card, you charge about 40 . so 65 total for the whole thing. and this is if the repair did as it claimed. and flipping the psu isnt a big deal. its a safer bet if you dont know if the computer is going to be on carpet.
@@thewizardoftech5075 I don't do this for a living lol I'm just a computer science lad who happened to be into computer repairs and usually help friends/family
@@thewizardoftech5075 Repair shops may be different in that regard as they do sometimes throw in free installation to generate more retail sales especially on higher ticket PCI-Express cards like GPU's that can be installed in minutes as the markup on the card is worth it if it helps generate more sales. This can be especially useful as a selling point for smaller shops because they simply can't match the aggressive pricing of big chain retailers as they don't have the volume to negotiate preferential pricing from suppliers so they distinguish themselves with their range of services and promises of a better shopping experience (Having staff that actually have a clue that goes beyond reciting a few talking points you can just as easily find printed on the box to provide bespoke advice etc).

@@JacobA666 the litigious amount would be too small in my opinion. Therefore I am afraid there won't be no short term justice, except the guy will have a very bad karma... :-)
Means: life will catch up with all his bad deeds at some point anyways.
It's really sad when you find a human being that has lost their compassion and care for other life forms. Great great video, but be warned. Cheers
You're making it seem like this guy is some mass murderer. Just because he's scammer doesn't make him a soulless, evil person.
dgs sounds like you’re a scammer
TurboCMinusMinus yes
@@ndturtle5538 How would u feel if I scammed u?
@@ndturtle5538 Go fuck yourself lets see you live with a Gtx 550 TI and be happy... I use to have the EVGA superclocked version ad's buoy boy did it become shot after 5 years.
Wait, you're writing of a scammer a a business expence, letting him get away with it and continue scamming people who know nothing about computers?
This video was meant to educate people about maintenancing PCs. E.g. the description provides tips on what to do if your PC is slow.
You don't stop scams by educating scammers but by educating people in general. The same applies in politics btw...
@@goku445, I agree. The goal is to educate people about computers do they can identify problems and even work on computers themselves.
While I agree with the educating people. You know how many you tubers do this, you just feed them.
So he basically gave away over 150 just to a scammer. Great idea buddy!
Please flag him for all this wrong doing. Imagine if someone brought him a really good pc.
One word "yeet"
@@1egend4ry59 what?
Someone who has a really good pc wouldn't make this error.

Bruh, £50 to swap out a graphics card lol
Don't forget he turned the psu around that's a hard job lol
id charge 25 bucks to swap a graphics card if i was doing repair. but i would also offer free diagnostic to all my customers.
I own a PC repair company, and I charged $40 to secure two GPU's that were in SLI that slipped out and were causing blue screens and reboots. I didn't think I charged to much. He drives a Dodge Challenger Scat Pack and lives with his dad that just bought an $800k house down the street. I'm sure he'll live.
I remember buying ram over a decade ago and they said they'll install it for me for $50. Made me think how much money I could make installing it for people for just $5
@@fransoualee6529 Not a whole lot. 🤣
Please call Jeff and tell him your games run slower now!! Very interested on what he will respond!
I think him taking your old graphics card, without asking, counts as theft. Technically speaking you could have him arrested.
You should get back in touch and say to him that you've got worse performance than before, see what he suggests or does.
I dont think it will work out fine.
Something might happen, the "PC Specialist" is running it off his own house... Could do so much knowing where he lives
@@jchan6969 hes afraid of him he wont do shit. i mean he was trying to get scammed.
"My name Jeff"
That profile picture of yours compliments your comment well XD
@@mobarakjama5570 haha
This channel has the most year 2000 name in all of youtube
Actually, the most year 2000 name would be “RandomGamingin480p”
Can you imagine being a kid whose parents paid to get something fixed, only to get scammed and left not being able to play your games? :( ugh literally breaks my heart
When you intentionally look for rip off artists you will find them. The moral of this story is that 2 out of 3 were good people.
Exactly my thoughts.
User benchmark shows 226% in difference - he should be in jail.
The fact you let him rip you off is extremely frustrating to watch.
I am pretty sure you can sue him with that much evidence of fraud
I'm imagining Jeff from Peep Show...
"A'll replace yer card fur ya, Mark..."
Haha I love Peep Show. “Men with ven”
I wish I was born 10 years earlier because anyone can build a PC these days, which kinda makes my skills obsolete.
But anyone could 10 years ago, or 10 years before that?
Never obsolete, you can help your friends and family out, if they don't know as much
Not exactly. Hardware's developed to a point where no one who knows nothing about computers can build one. Just buy the parts and watch someone on YT who knows what they are doing. That wasn't really a thing 10 years ago as YT was still in its infancy.
I think you mean 15-20 years because 10 years ago a lot of people knew how to fix it
So, you're upset that your easy job has been jeopardized due to information becoming more accessible?
So, you want people to remain ignorant so you can continue to collect a paycheck?
Well, aren't you sort of a piece of shit.
Jeff is a pro at PC Building Simulator.
When you were a baby, if you could manage placing the shaped plastic or wooden blocks into the corresponding holes within the lid of a bucket then you can physically build a PC
